The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Shi Feiyang was very surprised when he saw Zhu Yita. Although this little emperor was young, his cultivation was quite high and he had even reached the level of a wandering immortal.

Zhu Yita was also very happy to see Shi Feiyang. He released a flying sword with dazzling light, which flew back and forth in the hall. The cold light flashed, illuminating the hall as bright as day.

After performing a set of swordplay, Zhu Yitai put away his flying sword and asked Shi Feiyang expectantly, "Master, how is my swordplay going?"

Shi Feiyang left Taoist books to the Zhu family, but their main purpose was to enlighten the mind and increase wisdom. Since Wanli, emperors of every dynasty wanted to cultivate immortality, but none of them succeeded. It was not because the techniques left by Shi Feiyang were not good, but because the emperors had too many political schemes to consider, plus the oppression from the various palaces in the harem, which led to the loss of their essence and energy, and the depletion of their spirit, making it difficult to achieve anything.

This is the first time that someone like Zhu Yita has refined a flying sword.

It is not a bad thing for the emperor to master Taoism, but the premise is to be realistic. If he succeeds, he succeeds; if he fails, he fails.

Could it be that this kid really has the potential to be a human emperor? The end of the world is approaching, and now there is a human emperor with supernatural powers, who fits the number of saints in the salvation mode?
Shi Feiyang simply calculated the hexagram in his mind, and it was indeed a sign of a wise god saving the world.

If this kid could really become the Human Emperor, he would be able to save a lot of energy. However, there are many variables hidden beneath the surface of the hexagram. It is very twisted and strange, and it is obvious that it has been modified by a master.

Shi Feiyang asked Zhu Yita about Taoism. Zhu Yita had memorized the Taoist books left by Shi Feiyang since he was a child, and he could recite them by heart. No matter what sentence Shi Feiyang asked, he could quickly answer the next sentence. When asked what the sentence meant, he could answer easily and accurately.

He is a talented person in practicing Taoism!

Shi Feiyang asked: "Your Majesty, is your harem full now? How many concubines do you have?"

Zhu Yitai answered proudly, "I have never been interested in women since I was young, and I have been devoted to cultivating the Dao. It was not until the year before last that I took in a concubine and made her a noble concubine. She is a good woman, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, classics, history, and literature. The most valuable thing is that she is also proficient in the Book of Changes and the Dao of Huang Lao. Not only did she persuade me to control my desires, but she also gave me a lot of guidance. I was able to master the swordsmanship so quickly thanks to her help."

"Can she also perform flying sword magic?"

Zhu Yitai nodded, "But she seldom uses it. The imperial concubine said that when she was a child, she was admiring the moon in the back garden and met an extraordinary person. It was the famous female fairy Shi Longgu who was good at transcending tribulations with divine needles. The two of them got along very well. She asked Shi Longgu to teach her how to cultivate immortality and fly needles, and also gave her a set of lady flying needles."

The little disciple accepted by Shi Longgu?

Suddenly, there was a person who knew Taoism by the emperor's side, and she became his only concubine. Anyone would have been wary.

However, since she was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue and had learned Taoism from Shi Longgu, her background was clean, so it was not a bad thing.

However, when one cultivates to Shi Feiyang's level, as long as one becomes alert, it means that there is a high probability that something will happen, especially this kind of hexagram.

He turned his head and looked towards the harem, his eyes flashing with purple and green light. He saw through countless walls in one fell swoop and directly saw Concubine You in the harem.

She was indeed a very beautiful and quiet girl, wearing a white gauze dress. She was sitting in front of a shelf, embroidering a picture of a golden dragon going out to sea on a frame.

She was seen making hand gestures with white light flashing, manipulating twenty-eight embroidery needles, with silk threads of various colors flying back and forth on the silk, shuttling up and down. A golden dragon shaking its head and tail took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it looked vivid and ready to take flight.

He is indeed Shi Longgu’s disciple!
Shi Feiyang nodded and looked away. Nothing was wrong, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Just in case, he told Zhu Yitai: "Your Majesty is very good at swordsmanship, but the quality of this sword is a little poor."

Zhu Yitai said: "I refined this magic sword based on my grandfather's magic sword."

Ever since the establishment of Mingyu Fairy City, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been constantly purchasing various fairy items from it. They dream of owning a flying sword of their own, and also want to fly into the sky on a sword and go in and out of the blue sky.

However, none of them were able to truly become sword immortals. Before their death, in addition to imperial edicts and regents, they also passed on the flying swords they had made to the next emperor.

By the time of Zhu Yita's generation, he had finally become a sword immortal. His flying sword had been repeatedly refined by successive emperors, and it became more and more magical. It was indeed a very good flying sword. Even if compared with the outside sword immortal circle, it was of top quality. Many flying swords and flying knives used by unorthodox methods were far inferior to it.

But Shi Feiyang had very high vision. He directly took out a black flying sword that looked as dark as ink. The hilt of the sword was shaped like a dragon. He shook it lightly, and the whole hall became dark.

"What a great sword!" Zhu Yitai exclaimed. How could it be bad? This was the Ink Dragon Immortal Sword left by Gongye Huang. Even the flying swords used by the sword immortals who had practiced for thousands of years could not compare to this one.

The reason for giving this sword to Zhu Yita was not only because Shi Feiyang had no use for the flying sword, but more because the hexagram showed that Zhu Yita was the key to the fight against Chi You. He could not get into trouble. If something happened to him, all would be lost, and billions of lives in Middle-earth would die. Although he would not suffer any harm, he could only retreat to the sacred mountains outside the sky and hand over the Middle-earth continent and the four seas.

As soon as Zhu Yita saw the Molong Immortal Sword, his eyes widened. He felt that compared with this immortal sword, the magical weapon in his hand was just scrap metal.

"This magic sword is only lent to you for now. It depends on whether you have the ability to control it."

Zhu Yitai knelt down and took the sword with both hands: "Master, don't worry. I... my grandson will definitely do his best to refine the sword and will never let you down."

"Well, first you have to spend a hundred days of hard work to absorb it into your body. During this period, you cannot get close to any women, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."

"This is easy, my grandson can definitely do it!"

Shi Feiyang handed the sword to Zhu Yita. If there was really something wrong with Concubine You, she would definitely try every possible means to obstruct him within these hundred days, and it would naturally be exposed. If there was nothing wrong with her, Zhu Yita would successfully refine the sword after a hundred days, and there would be no fear of any harm.

After solving the problem of the sword, Shi Feiyang asked about the affairs of the court. Zhu Yita answered fluently and explained most things in an orderly manner.

There is just one thing. In the Ming Dynasty, not only the emperor practices Taoism, but the ministers also do so. Civil officials practice swordsmanship, and military generals practice thunder magic. It has become a trend.

The papermaking and printing industry was very developed in the Ming Dynasty. There was even a model where booksellers hired writers to write novels, published and distributed them, and sold them for profit. If readers liked the novel, they would write to the booksellers urging them to update, and the booksellers would then ask the authors to continue writing. As long as they could make money, the booksellers would hire another author to continue writing, even if the author could not continue.

The style of today's mythological novels is that a scholar goes to Beijing to take an imperial examination and stays overnight in an ancient temple in the wilderness. He sits on the couch reading a book at night when suddenly a monster appears. The scholar raises his hand and a flying sword in the box flies out like lightning, going and coming back. With a scream, the monster has been killed by the magic sword.

The style of the novels about robes and belts is: the generals of both sides fought for dozens of rounds without a clear winner, one general released a magic weapon, and the other general pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, casting a spell...

When everyone cultivates immortality, those who already have a large amount of mortal resources will be able to get a step ahead and obtain more resources. They will also unite to form certain parties or certain associations. After their strength grows, they will use the resources in their hands to obtain more resources. The snowballs will get bigger and bigger, and the resources in their hands will increase. Then they will start to grab various rights, including political rights...

All the ministers in the court formed factions and joined the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Shanxi Party... all of them had large groups supporting them. They fought openly and secretly against each other, using all kinds of means to make the situation chaotic.

During the reign of Emperor Tianqi, the struggle was mainly among mortals, and it could be suppressed by relying on the eunuch party composed of marginalized small factions gathered by Eunuch Wei. But by the time of Zhu Yitai's reign, it was gradually becoming impossible to suppress it. The most obvious thing was that tax revenues decreased year after year, and the annual treasury revenue was only one-fifth of that during the Tianqi period. The treasury also shrank rapidly. The mining tax, tea tax, etc. in Jiangnan were all exhausted, and the tea tax in one province could not even collect 200 dragon coins each year.

As soon as the young emperor wanted to collect taxes, the ministers accused him of competing with the people for profit. They said the emperor wanted to put the money into the treasury, was extravagant and licentious, and wrote books among the people to describe the evil deeds of the eunuchs. From the eunuchs to the Jinyiwei, and then to the emperor, they were all scolded. It was almost to the point that a change of dynasty was necessary.

Even the issue of banning cults in previous years was involved, and a large number of cult remnants came forward to tell their stories about the darkness of the imperial court and the cruelty to ordinary people.

In addition, the young emperor also mentioned that there were unusual movements among the thirty-six barbarian countries in the North Sea. In the past few years, they had invaded the border several times and were always beaten back. However, in recent years, those barbarians somehow cultivated magical powers one by one. It was said that they could grow to be three meters long, with copper heads and iron brains, invulnerable to swords and spears, and even able to withstand the flying swords and thunder magic of some generals.

In southern Xinjiang, it is said that there are many demons that have become spirits causing chaos, and a large number of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that are harming people. At first, the number of poisonous insects increased, but it was not so bad. Later, people were stung to death by poisonous insects more and more frequently. Until recently, in some places, an entire village was slaughtered overnight.

Shi Feiyang listened to everything and said to the little emperor: "I will help you solve this matter. The most important thing for you now is to practice the Black Dragon Sword well and preside over the affairs of the court."

He stood up to leave, and the little emperor seemed to be hesitant to speak, his face full of pitiful expression.

Shi Feiyang asked him, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The little emperor said, "Now that you are gone, I don't know when we will meet again. I have already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare the best banquet. Although it may not be worth much in your eyes, it is my grandson's sincere intention. How about we finish the meal before leaving?"

Shi Feiyang smiled and said, "I will stay in the capital for a long time this time. I will usually live in Yuanyang Palace. I will come to the palace to see you many times in the future. Besides, I haven't been to the world for a long time and I haven't eaten. Well, when I am free later, I will prepare a table of food and treat you to a meal."

After hearing this, the little emperor smiled so much that his fangs were exposed. He bowed and said, "Then I respectfully send you off, Imperial Master." (End of this chapter)
